Chap. Fl. 542. 



Louisianian area. South Carolina to Florida, west to Mississippi. Distribution 

 not well defined, the species being by most authors confounded with C. verrucosa

 more northern distribution.

 Washington, and Mobile counties. Frequent. 



Abundantly distinct from C. verrucosa by the almost nerv'eless, glaucous perigynia, 

 which are much longer than tbe blade of the scales and almost as long as "their 

 rough awns. Leaves tiattish and generally broader. 



Type locality : " Grows around 2>ine-barren ponds [South Carolina and Georgia]."
